About Burnout

The Burnout Questionnaire is a standardized tool to assess burnout. It consists of 28 questions which are divided into three further sub-categories. It is scored according to a 5-point scale, and the total ranges from a minimum of 28 to a maximum of 140.

When should you consider this assessment?

If several of these experiences have been present for two weeks or more and are affecting your daily life — work, sleep, relationships — a screening assessment is a good first step to understand what you are going through.

How the assessment works

About 5 minutes. Each one asks how often you have experienced something recently. You can go back and change any answer before you submit, and you will see every answer on a review screen first.

What happens after?

You will get a patient-friendly report: a severity band, a breakdown of which areas weigh heaviest, key observations from your answers, and clear next steps. If it would help to talk to someone, we will suggest therapists who work with burnout.
